Student Council Mission Statement

"We, the Student Council, are committed to encourage a relational environment that strengthens the Christ-centered and unified community of MHS through spirit, service and integrity."

Student Leadership

The Student Council is an integral part of the student community at Maranatha High School. Student Council officers are elected yearly by the students to represent them in various school-related events. The officers are placed in our Student Council course (during the school day) which provides leadership training for these student leaders.

In Student Council, the officers meet with their advisors to address student issues, school spirit, school activities, and student conduct.
